Sure, it's not the best looking - but it should be pretty accurate, it's 'modern' and you can use it at the indoor range.

Two blokes in my club have one. They seem to really like them.

Interesting. Do you know if they use the gas-checked bullets or if they make do with cast .32's?

What is the difference?
Gas checks are fitted to gas check design cast boolits.
The Patriot I had used cast plain based and gas checked cast boolits as well as swaged plain base boolits.
They came with a specific design of swaged wad cutter boolits made for the pistol.

I know one of them shoots anything .32 through his! He even used some of my jacketed stuff that I have for .32 magnum!
One of them used to belong to dromia.....

If you're happy with single shot and want something a bit cheaper - speak to Ovenpaa, he has my Westlake Phoenix which is proofed for smokeless powder as well.

I do indeed and it is a cracking pistol, I will see if I have a picture to post up.

Thanks! Looks interesting... I can't seem to find a source for ammo though. Seems you can't find the gas checked ammo any more either...
I'm sending off my variation in a couple of weeks hopefully. Perhaps a .32 will be added!

I'm not sure what I'm chasing at the moment. I would like a Westlake Taurus conversion, but it's the cost that's holding me up. IIRC they're in the £1,600 bracket.
If it was so good, how come you sold it on?
